Pediatric orthodontics focuses on guiding proper jaw growth and correcting alignment issues in children and teens. Early orthodontic care plays a critical role in preventing more complex dental problems later in life.
At our pediatric dental practice, we evaluate bite development, spacing, crowding, overbite, underbite, and crossbite in a child-friendly, supportive environment. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic evaluation around age 7, as this allows early detection of growth-related concerns.
Our goal is not only to create straight teeth but to support healthy jaw development, proper chewing function, clear speech, and long-term oral health. Early intervention can reduce treatment time in the future and, in some cases, prevent the need for more invasive procedures.
We provide personalized orthodontic treatment plans tailored to your child’s age, growth stage, and specific dental needs.
Schedule your child’s orthodontic evaluation to ensure their smile develops the right way.
Our pediatric orthodontic services are designed to support proper jaw growth and healthy smile development from an early age.
Comprehensive Orthodontic Evaluation
Digital X-rays, photos, 3D scans, and bite analysis to assess jaw development, spacing, crowding, and alignment concerns.
Early Interceptive Orthodontics (Phase I)
Early treatment focused on guiding jaw growth and preventing more complex orthodontic problems later.
Palatal Expanders
Custom-fitted expanders used to gently widen the upper jaw in growing children. This treatment helps correct crossbites, create space for permanent teeth, and improve overall bite alignment.
Braces for Kids & Teens
• Traditional metal braces
• Ceramic braces (tooth-colored option)
Clear Aligners for Teens
Discreet orthodontic treatment for eligible teen patients with mild to moderate alignment concerns.
Growth & Development Monitoring
Regular check-ups to monitor eruption patterns and jaw development.
Retention Phase
Custom retainers to maintain alignment and protect long-term results.
Our pediatric-focused approach ensures your child receives age-appropriate orthodontic care in a comfortable environment.
Schedule your child’s orthodontic consultation to determine whether expanders, braces, or early treatment is recommended.
At what age should my child see a pediatric orthodontic provider?
An evaluation is recommended by age 7 to detect early jaw and alignment issues.
Does my child always need braces if there are alignment issues?
Not always. Some cases benefit from growth monitoring or early Phase I treatment before full braces are needed.
How long does orthodontic treatment for kids take?
Treatment length varies but typically ranges from 12–24 months depending on complexity.
Are clear aligners safe for teenagers?
Yes, for responsible teens with mild to moderate alignment issues. A consultation determines eligibility.
